This is getting very off-topic, folks. If you'd like to comment about Flarum's use of Composer, feel free to start a new topic in the Dev tag.

luceos

I've been personally been working on a web installer that circumvents the need of composer and ssh. You'll find the last attempt as pr of flarum/flarum.

Thanks 😉

Aesahaettr

luceos So does that mean we don't need to install via command line anymore?

jordanjay29

Aesahaettr That hasn't changed.

Aesahaettr

Is there a timeline on when we won't need command line anymore? I tried getting Namecheap to try to install it and they said they couldn't figure it out.

jordanjay29

Aesahaettr See the first post for the timeline. ?

You can also install it locally and then copy the files to your webserver. Open a new thread if you encounter problems doing so.

You can install it without logging into ssh with some little tricks , But make sure your hosting grants you shell_exec() function.
First download composer localler from https://getcomposer.org/composer.phar
Then Upload composer.phar to outside your public_html folder because flarum installation needs an empty folder,if public_html folder is not empty, make sure you empty it.
Now Create a file called installer.php and put in this

<?php
$composerPath = "../composer.phar";
$installerCmd = "php $composerPath create-project flarum/flarum . --stability=beta ";
echo shell_exec($installerCmd);
?>

Save it then call installer.php from your browser ....
If successful, then continue with post installation stuff ,hope it helps someone

santiagobiali

dr_success the code the way you did won't work. It requires an empty folder.
You would have to get composer.phar in another directory and then change this:

$installerCmd = "php $composerPath create-project flarum/flarum ~/public_html --stability=beta ";

Simple way to install Flarum beta on any shared hosting

install the flarum on your PC, its very easy in UBUNTU without any issue
When you install it succesfully then RUN it, if its working properly on your PC then its time to ZIP the public_html folder where FLARUM is installed.
Upload the ZIP folder on your hosting server, unzip it on public_html and install it.

Possible issues with these extensions: mbstring, pdo_mysql, openssl, json, gd, dom, fileinfo

Make sure that are installed by your webserver, if not ask them to install it

Sorry! I'm not developer, I just shared my knowledge , how I installed it on my shared lightserver. ?

Davis

RahulKumar I wouldn't call that simple. Not to mention, most people run Windows, not Linux.

Although, that is the most common method to installing on shared hosting.

RahulKumar

Davis Me to use Windows, I installed linux only to test the flarum. Then I uploaded to my shared server and uninstalled Linux (ubuntu) .
People can Also use VM to install Linux on windows, until the release of stable webinstaller

webeindustry

the simplest way will be:

but that's a few months out ;-)

Davis

RahulKumar if you uninstall Ubuntu you will have problems updating

RahulKumar

Davis Before uploading to the server, we have to check if it is working properly on localhost. I have tested on Apache, Light server without any problem. I also tested it on some FREE HOSTING SERVERS, yeah it worked. It is beta so it can't be used for commercial purpose, just taste it. Me to installed flarum only for testing.

I'm agree uninstalling Ubuntu may create problem if we want to install extensions or want to do other things. That's why I said to use VM ( Vmware or VirtualBox ) ?

jordanjay29

RahulKumar It is beta so it can't be used for commercial purpose

We discourage production usage, not commercial. If you want to use Flarum now, for a commercial or non-commercial site, no one is going to stop you.
